I thought I'd just stop-by to show some of the items I've been busy making, which will come with me to the fair...

This is Holly. She is an angel decoration dressed in an antique baby gown...And is ready to spread some seasonal cheer.

Two of my medium sized rag dolls hot off the sewing machine... Here we have Nancy.

And this is Emily.

A flapper girl hat stand for the dressing table.

Made from all vintage/antique materials and trims.

I've beavered away making quite a large collection of fairy dolls. Each one is unique - dressed in antique fabrics, lace and other special little trims. I'm very happy with this latest collection (if I may say?) - And am always surprised how a few treasured pieces of lace and special trims can create so many different looks to these girls. I like to name my dolls (giving them each their own name tag)...which can sometimes take me a while...This time I decided to name each fairy after a sweet or pudding!...Not quite sure why, but it seemed like a good idea at the time! ;-))

Cherry Muffin

Marshmallow

Charlotte Rousse

Creme Brulee

Chantilly Cream

Panna Cotta

Crepe Suzette

Tapioca Pudding

There's plenty of stocking filler ideas too. (Some can be seen here on my other blog.)This antique lace panel was just right for making into a lavender-filled sleep pillow.

A handbag made from antique linen.

The powder puffs that I have shown on my blog before.

And Christmas tree decorations made from rusty antique keys.

I'll take some original vintage items too...

Such as these pretty framed prints...

An Edwardian hand embroidered parasol cover, which I thought would make a fabulous Christmas tree skirt...

And an original pair of flapper dance shoes by Peter Yapp of Sloan Street, London.

"Hope to see you there!"

(My shop will be closed whilst I attend the fair - Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.)
